This will be my first post here, and it is very difficult to write, as silly as that may seem. I suppose it is not helped when I have been very honest here on my profile regarding things that I normally am not particularly forward with. Hello massive anxiety.
I have received a warm reception from the welcome committee volunteers. Very friendly and helpful. Taking the time to say hello, ECT. to newbies is a really an awesome thing to do. It is strange and somewhat scary to be in a place where I do not have to hide behind a mask. The kindness is very much appreciated.
I hope to maybe get to know a few people better, or at least branch out a little bit socially. It is a rare pleasure to be able to share thoughts with others, unconcerned of the repercussions of honesty.
To anyone who reads this, if you should feel so inclined, please feel free to say hello or whatever else you may wish to say.
Thank you to all who take the time to read this.
(The response to this post has been massive!!! Thank each and everyone of you who have taken the time to say hello and such. I appreciate all of you for taking the time to do it. It is really nice to have seemingly been so warmly embraced by everyone. I want to apologize to anyone I do not personally respond to. I am going to try and give each and every person the thank you they deserve, but if I miss you, or it takes awhile, please have no doubt that your response is very much appreciated. This place has gotten off to a really awesome start. Thank you all again!!!"
Hello friend! Welcome to the club!
@SeptemberRain feel free to drop a line if you feel like a chat .
Welcome to the community. You'll find people to your liking as we are a diverse communiy.
If you like good natured sarcasm, joking, and banter join in the singles group. Most of are not into hitting on fellow members, just lots of talking and joking about, food, sex,alcohol, and life experiences. A fun group.
Welcome. You seem kind and sensitive. There are some good people here. Some outspoken, but still very good. I'd suggest also exploring the groups on here, you may find good stuff there as well.
Yes, some outspoken and for the most part respectful of other thoughts and opinions!
Welcome to the community. As you can already see, there are a lot of nice, intelligent nonbelievers here (and a few believers too). =]
@SeptemberRain Me too! =]
Welcome to the dark side! Most people are nice. You can report or block people who aren't.
Welcome to the site. I hope you find like-minded people that help you feel more comfortable in your beliefs and ideas. Part of the draw of many religions and being among those believers is how they help to support you. Hopefully, this rag-tag group united in their belief in agnosticism and atheism will support you and make you more secure in your beliefs! Howdy and enjoy!!?
Welcome. I'm not an official greeter, but I can tell you that when I joined earlier this year I felt much the same way. Most people here are very welcoming and supportive. Occasionally someone is not, but you can just ignore them, or you can block them. I prefer to do that. But I don't have to do it very often.You'll find all ages, all walks of life here and we all seem to get along pretty well in our godless, pagan state. If I can ever be helpful, just let me know.
Hello. There's all kinds of members here. Enjoy!
Welcome from north of you. Advice? Don't be fearful, say what you think. Hopefully as you read the posts and participate you'll feel more and more comfortable being yourself. Yes, you might disagree with some people, but that's life, don't let it stop you from saying your peace.
Beto yes cruz go away. Hello from the ack household
Greeting and Namaste. I am also relativity new here myself, I have found most to be warm and friendly and those that are, oh lets say not so much.... keep telling them they are good and wonderful and at some point they start believing us. I am intrigued by your screen name, it speaks of a meloncollie sadness but has a beauty all to its own.
Welcome! I hope you find the same sense of camaraderie that I have found here so far as a newer member myself.
